Re: Do you have a "home phone?"
I only got a cell when I had to abandon ship and had no traditional home for many years. Now I'm used to having a cell but STILL get the urge to check the answering machine when I come home.

Re: Do you have a "home phone?"
My DFIL threw a fit when we mentioned dropping our land-line so we dropped in a 'no-frills' VOIP service 'Callcentric' - it's dirt cheap (~$3.45/mo) and support is only provided via detailed, extensive instructions and email.
It has a lot of nice features including the ability to automatically forward calls from the DFIL to my wife's cell phone, a limited 'spam filter' for marketing calls and the ability to program automatic responses to less than preferred numbers. Like the collections agent that never seemed to grasp the fact that I never owed them anything and just because my name started with the same letter as a looser doesn't mean I was going to pay their bill.
We've kind of started treating the number as the 'spam' phone - we use it instead of our cell phones to avoid spam calls. Then program the spam numbers to automatically roll to voice mail or let them have a 'disconnected' tone.
Good luck!
